Just replying to myself incase this proves useful for anyone. The Archive Events page does indeed work like the Standard Archive page types and allow you to list events filtered by start_date, however the tags for the Event Day page seem to return events for the entire month, instead of for a single day, instead of what the archive title indicates. Here are some amendments to the event_day_index_page.rb page that seem to correct that and list events just for a single day. class ArchiveFinder def event_day_finder(finder, year, month, day) new do |method, options| start = Time.local(year, month, day) finish = start.tomorrow add_condition(options, event_datetime_start = ? and event_datetime_start ?, start, finish) finder.find(method, options) end end end tag archive:children do |tag| year, month, day = $1, $2, $3 if request_uri =~ %r{/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d{2})/?$} tag.locals.children = ArchiveFinder.event_day_finder(parent.children, year, month, day) tag.expand end tag archive:unless_children do |tag| year, month, day = $1, $2, $3 if request_uri =~ %r{/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d{2})/?$} if ArchiveFinder.event_day_finder(parent.children, year, month, day).find(:all).empty? tag.expand end end The only trouble with this is that it limits all events pages to be the children of the Events Archive page. Another way to list all events for a single day in the future is to use the route handlers extension and filter the events by url/date: Route: route\/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d{2})/?$ Fields: start_year, start_month, start_day Although this means creating a page for each month of the year... Does anyone know of a good trick to find all children of the root instead of using parent.children? ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
[Radiant] Page Event Extension
Hello, I was just taking a look at the Page Event Extension and wondered if anyone knew what the day, month, season and year pages were and how they worked? Are they like archive pages in that the grab the url in order to display events for that date? What tags enable you to do this - the only ones I see look like they require the dates manually setting... Also does anyone know what the season page is and why it only looks like it has two seasons -presumably these are months? Looks like a really interesting extension, would love to hear from people about how it works. Thanks, Dominic ___ Radiant mailing list Post: Radiant@radiantcms.org Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant

Re: [Radiant] Page Event Extension
Hmm, How do you list the shows via the archives? I can see r:events:in_range:each but that requires start=/mm/dd manually specified in the tag. r:events:upcoming:each limit=10 just seems to list all upcoming events but is not scoped to the date in the archive... Is creating a simple list of events scoped by month/day possible?

Re: [Radiant] Page Event Extension
Sorry I should have been clearer, by shows I did mean events and by archives I meant the additional page types this extension adds: http://github.com/mghaught/radiant-page-event/tree/master/app/models/ e.g. event_archive_page.rb, event_month_index_page.rb, event_day_index_page.rb etc I understand I can list all future events, I also understand I can have a calendar but you can reveal more detailed event information in a list (a short description, content parts etc). I'd like to be able to have a *list* of all upcoming events but scoped to a certain month or a certain day. I saw that this could be done manually with the r:events:in_range:each start=/mm finish=/mm tag for each month but it would get impossible to manage on a more granular level for each day of the year. As I saw this extension added additional page types I simply wanted to know if anyone knew how they worked and what they added; they don't seem to alter the calendar behaviour and my first thought was that they would organise events by year/month/day just like the archive extension does for blog pages. I've just been poking around with it some more and it seems that the 'event month index page' does seem to have gained at least some of this functionality. r:archive:children:eachr:link /br //r:archive:children:each This seems to list events starting in the month (defined by url) but only events starting in that month and not events that carry over from the end of the previous month, those are only listed on the month they started - I'm not sure of its functionality I'm confused at to what these additional page types actually do...?

Re: [Radiant] Page Event Extension
I'm referring to the the Page Events Extension that I linked to: http://github.com/mghaught/radiant-page-event As well as the event and calendar support it extends radiant by also adding several pages types, event_archive_page.rb, event_month_index_page.rb, event_day_index_page.rb etc. These look similar to the page types added by the Archive extensions but are added by the Page Event Extension - they are not added by the Archive extension. In the admin area on any particular page, for the page type you can choose Event Archive, Event Month Index, Event Day Index ... as well as the selections for the Blog extension; Archive, Archive Month Index, Archive Day Index. Two different things. It looks like it filters the events by date in the same manner as the blog archive page type filters blog posts by date. You can filter manually with the r:events:in_range:each tag. I'd like to know if you can filter based on the url like the page types suggest and what these page types do?
